Similarly, those providing non-emergency patient transport services for the NHS will also continue to do so.

With regret, we are not able to facilitate ambulance services directly to the public.

Advice from NHS England

On strike days, patients should only call 999 if seriously ill or injured or in a mental health emergency, and there is risk to life. Ambulances will be dispatched where clinically appropriate.

For all other health care needs support will be available through NHS 111 online, via the NHS 111 helpline or at your local GP or pharmacy.

The NHS.UK website has more information on when to call 999 and when to go to A&E.
